Vitruvius on architecture
No full textRobert Tavernor wrote the Introduction (pp. i-xxxviii). R. V. Schofield wrote the translators note (xxxix-xliv) and is responsible for the translation, notes, glossary and index (pp. 1- 440). The idea behind the translation was to try and take account, in so far as this is possible in a popular series usually without notes, of the researches on the text included in the Einaudi Vitruvius (Gros, Corso, Romano) and the Budé editions, of which the last volume has just appeared. The aim was not to comment on the text of Vitruvius (the Italian and French commentaries are vast) but to provide English readers with a translation written in clear and contemporary but not anachronistic English; a recent American edition (1999) is noteable for the abundant drawings but also for its sometimes impenetrable and latinate English

Architettura e controriforma. I dibattiti per la facciata del Duomo di Milano 1582-1682
No full textRepishti cap. I, pp. 13-124
Schofield cap II pp. 125-251: 126 pages + 99 = pp. 235
Repishti and Schofield cap. III pp. 251-350: 99 pages + all the other work done together- collections of drawings, texts and documents.
The book collects the 31 debates on the façade of the Duomo di Milano in the Renaissance and Baroque, the richest surviving debates on any monument in Italian architecture of the 17th and 18th centuries. Repishti examines the huge collection of surviving drawings for the façade in cap. I
In cap. II R V Schofield discusses in vast detail the ecclesiastical and architectural ideology behind the debates in Milan and Italy and explains why it became a doctrinal necessity to build churches (the house of God) as magnificently as possible for many sections of the most orthodox counterreformation ecclesiastics. The discussion therefore provides an explanation of how Baroque splendour in architecture, starting from the Jesuits' S. Fedele in Milan and their Gesù in Rome, was justified by these ecclesiastics. The discussion includes a full examination of Catholic as opposed to Lutheran and Calvinistic attitudes to magnificence; the Catholic defence of such attitudes; the central disputes between Bellarmino, Baronio, and Hospiniano and many others: the attitudes revealed in the writings of Cinquecento and Seicento architects towards magnificentia; the neutrality of their attitude towards the use of the pagan classical orders in catholic ecclesiastical; the attitudes of the Borromeo, Carlo and Federico, to these vastly detailed debates; the question of pauperismo (which is shown to be largely a modern fiction) in ecclesiastical architecture as against splendour advocated by the hardliners; all these attitudes can be found in the debates over the façade of the Duomo when they fight over the use of a Gothic versus a Classical style.

The personal and national costs of lost labour force participation due to arthritis: an economic study
No full textArthritis is a common and costly health condition internationally. The direct medical costs of arthritis are significant, with the condition being the fourth most common reason for seeking general practitioner medical care. Treatment of arthritis in Australia cost around $4 billion (AU) in health system expenditure in 2004–05, the fourth largest cause of health expenditure in the country. However, this figure covers only the direct medical costs, and the indirect costs, are considered to be larger. Within Australia arthritis has been listed as a ‘National Health Priority Area’, and affects 15% of the population. By 2020 the prevalence of the condition is estimated to increase, with arthritis potentially affecting 35% of the Australian population. Arthritis can cause significant activity limitation, and is responsible for around 13% of the disability reported in Australia. Due to its impact on functional ability, arthritis is associated with decreased labour force participation rates. Within Australia the impact of arthritis on labour force participation among people in the pre-retirement age group of 45 to 64 years is significant – with people suffering from arthritis being 3 times more likely to be out of the labour force than those with no chronic health condition.Authors: Deborah J Schofield, Rupendra N Shrestha, Richard Percival, Megan E Passey, Emily J Callander and Simon J Kell
Geology of the Hamilton region
No full textThis account takes the form of a synopsis which closely follows that prepared for a bulletin entitled "Geology of the Ngaruawahia Subdivision" (Kear and Schofield, in press). Normally such repetition should be avoided but an exception is made in view of delays in publishing the bulletin and of the parochial nature of this first number of the Earth Science Journal
